Project Grant 25DG11100106803

This federal Project Grant award for $500,100.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Temporary Bridge Program (CFDA 10.721). The grant supports the establishment of a rental program for portable skidder bridges, bridge mats, and other temporary water crossing structures in Alaska. The primary objective is to minimize stream bed disturbance during forestry, natural resource management, and infrastructure development activities on both non-federal and federal lands. The grant was awarded to Klukwan, Inc., an Alaskan Native Corporation, on January 14, 2025 with a completion date of December 31, 2026. The program aims to facilitate access for land management and development purposes while reducing environmental impact through the use of temporary crossing structures.
